I would stay again just because of the peacefulness.

Liked:It was quite and peaceful. There was plenty of outdoors space to enjoy and have conversation with those who came with you. We had a party of 12 and we were all able to sit around outside and talk.

Disliked:The parking it was limited and hard to get in and out. If you didn't find any you had to find something on the street.

The Upham is a winner!

Liked:The Upham is an exceptional hotel. It has a quiet, unpretentious elegance. The rooms are exceedingly comfortable, well appointed. The grounds are beautifully maintained and give you the impression that you’re far away from the city while being within short walking distance of the best Santa Barbara has to offer. We stayed in one of the cottage suites that had two bedrooms and one and half baths, a sitting area, and a private courtyard with fountain. We slept so well here! It was so quiet! There’s an incredible value here for the cost. We would recommend it to anyone regardless of your type of travel. If you value peace and quiet, good taste, beautiful green grounds, a lovely restaurant, friendly staff, and convenience, this is the place!
